Man, what a day! I’m tellin’ ya, being a Nose in Bagni-di-Tivoli is a wild ride. So, I wake up, right? Sun’s shining, birds are chirping, and I’m like, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Spoiler alert: it was NOT chill.
First off, I hit up Via del Colle. Beautiful street, like, postcard perfect. But then, BAM! I step in dog poop. Ugh! Seriously? Who lets their dog do that? I’m fuming. Like, come on, people! Clean up after your pets!
Anyway, I shake it off (literally) and head to the Terme di Tivoli. You know, those famous thermal baths? I’m all about that relaxation life. But guess what? It’s packed! Tourists everywhere. I mean, I get it, it’s a hot spot (pun intended), but c’mon! I just wanna soak in some hot water and chill.
So, I’m waiting in line, and this guy in front of me starts talking about how he’s a “professional relaxer.” Like, what even is that? I’m trying not to laugh. I mean, dude, you’re just standing here like the rest of us.
Finally, I get in. The water is heavenly. I’m floating, feeling like a king. But then, outta nowhere, this kid splashes me! I’m like, “Really, kid? You think this is a water park?” I’m half tempted to give him a lecture on proper bath etiquette. But I just roll my eyes and try to enjoy the moment.
After the baths, I stroll down Via della Repubblica. It’s a cute street, lined with shops and cafes. I stop for a gelato. Best decision ever! I go for pistachio, my fave. But then, I see this old lady selling flowers. She’s got the biggest smile, and I can’t help but smile back. It’s like she’s got this magic about her.
But then, outta nowhere, my phone buzzes. It’s my buddy Marco. He’s like, “Dude, meet me at the Villa d’Este!” I’m thinking, “Great, more walking.” But whatever, I’m game.
So, I head over. The villa is stunning, man. The fountains, the gardens, it’s all so extra. I’m snapping pics like a tourist. But then, I see Marco, and he’s got this wild look in his eyes. He’s like, “You won’t believe what I found!”
Turns out, he found this hidden spot behind the villa. It’s like a secret garden or something. We’re talking lush greenery, flowers everywhere. I’m like, “Dude, how did you even find this?” He just shrugs, all casual.
We chill there for a bit, just soaking it all in. But then, I hear this loud noise. It’s a wedding party! They’re all dressed up, laughing, and I’m like, “Wow, this is a movie scene.” I’m half tempted to crash it, but I don’t wanna be that guy.
As the sun starts to set, the whole place lights up. It’s magical. I’m feeling all the feels. But then, I remember I gotta get home. I’m not ready to leave this vibe.
So, I head back through the streets, and I can’t help but think about how crazy today was. From dog poop to secret gardens, it’s all part of the Bagni-di-Tivoli experience, I guess.
I get home, plop on the couch, and just laugh. What a day! I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Being a Nose in this town? Never a dull moment!
